One thing that sets Food Industry Hub apart from other software providers is that we are completely transparent on pricing.
Almost every other software provider on the market is secretive about the price of the service, meaning you’re forced to go through their sales team just to find out basic information. This can be very frustrating – especially if you’re trying to compare different services and constantly being bombarded with upsell tactics.
The fact that other software service providers choose not to publish their prices makes it difficult to make direct comparisons… but anecdotally, we are aware of competing service providers charging 5X-20X the prices offered by Food Industry Hub. This is easily verifiable if you engage with a selection of vendors and enquire about installation/setup fees alongside the prices they charge per module, per year.
As a broad generalisation, there are two really significant influencers that act on the price you pay for commercial software:
â—‹ Overheads in the form of the sales team.
â—‹ Variable costs based on the number of records taken-up in the database.
Of course, there’s a lot more complexity and nuance in the underlying model – but these are the key factors that determine a sustainable price point.
For any service provider operating through an outbound sales process, the price of commercial software is hugely inflated by the act of selling it to the customer. This is quite intuitive when you consider the salary and commission structure that salespeople enjoy.
To draw an analogy, the price a consumer pays for a can of drink is largely a reflection of the cost of the cost of the can – and has relatively little to do with the actual product.
This is why we have chosen to enable self-registration with a free trial. Major brands operating across different verticals such as Microsoft and HubSpot have demonstrated successfully that user-driven onboarding allows for an excellent service to be delivered at reasonable and accessible prices.
When food manufacturers invest in management software, we believe the price should support the systems and capabilities – not the sales process.
If you approach other software service providers and they draw up a custom quote, how can you be sure that you’re being charged a fair and equitable price compared to other customers?
At the end of a disorienting negotiation – with price increments applied with the addition of each module or user licence – does the salesperson apply special discounts to make you feel like you got a good deal… even though the contract still takes an unreasonable proportion of your annual budget?
